But one grave is not touched by any human hand or trampled by any animal; only birds perch on it, and sing at dawn. #FathersAndSons #Turgenev25 #TurgenevsBirds 🧵

“You’ve got a little bog here, next to the aspen thicket. I started half a dozen of snipe; you can go and kill them, Arkady.”

I especially loved the nostalgic last chapter of #SpeakMemory. I actually was in Berlin for a few days during #Nabokov24 and although I didn’t have time to go on a Nabokov hunt, it did add an extra dimension to both the book and the city. Thanks Reem @paperpills10.bsky.social 😘

The famous Kurfürstendamm, where Nabokov’s then 2-year old son Dmitri noisily drove up and down in his toy silver coloured Mercedes race car. #Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory

The actor Ivan Mozzhukhin, the one that the author and Tamara had admired so often on the white screen, dressed as a Cherkessian. #Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory

When Nabokov found out that his father would be fighting in a duel, images of famous literary duels flared up in his imagination; Pushkin, Lermontov, Lenski. #Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory Chapter 9

Oh Colette, I imagine she looked a bit like this. Was she shy or showing off in the park in Paris? #Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory

Sophie n’etait pas jolie… 📚 The children’s book Les Malheurs de Sophie was a source of youth sentiment for Nabokov’s uncle Roeka. #Nabokov24 #SpeakMemory
